Introduction

grilled chicken orzo is a vibrant, Mediterranean-leaning one-pan meal that marries smoky, juicy grilled chicken with tender orzo and a rainbow of sautéed vegetables. The orzo absorbs savory pan juices and a pop of lemon, so every forkful tastes bright, herby, and satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s weeknight-quick, company-worthy, and endlessly customizable with seasonal produce.
